It was a cozy Christmas night. All was quiet, lights were twinkling and the smell of cookies was in the air when I got a phone call from a developer friend at another company. “I’m working on this huge site and it’s falling apart! I need your help! You ever heard of Hamilton…Broadway show? Their web site traffic is insane! Can you take a look at it?”

“Sure. I’ll let you know what I find.”

The Hamilton website was getting pounded with so many users it couldn’t keep up with the traffic!

I stayed up the whole night running test after test. Then I built a load-balanced server setup that served cache files fast. After gathering relevant analytics, we were able to put data centers in locations that were getting hit the worst. This gave the Hamilton website 10 times the headroom – so now it could really sing!

I felt like Santa, delivering so much joy to so many people (fans) in just one night. Never underestimate a Christmas miracle! – Jacob, Senior Software Engineer, LuminFire
